Faith Without Work is Dead

As we approach another Holy Season, faith comes to the forefront.

Great faith involves more than just belief.

Great faith requires action and work.

Working out our faith, taking steps to demonstrate the love of God to others.

What picture will your faith paint this Holy Season of Thanksgiving and Advent?

What if Mary had never acted in faith?

What if Joseph never accepted Mary in her plight?

What would have happened to Christ?

We all have our purpose that we must act upon. We illustrate our faith through our works.

Mary, I agree faith is so much more than just belief. It is easy to say we have faith but to step out in faith is what it is all about. It is faith in action. Thank you for your post.

What an honor to have my post from last week featured. Thank you so much for hosting this link-up. I have met such wonderful writers. I appreciate the effort it takes and the encouragement it brings to help me to keep stepping out in faith.
